Brezinski was arrested on Friday at his practice.

A Carolina Beach doctor has been charged with indecent liberties with a child and sexual offense in the first degree.

Damian Alexander Brezinski, 61, was arrested on Friday, according to the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office inmate search. Brezinski was employed as a cardiologist at Island Cardiology in Carolina Beach.

Officers brought Brezinski into custody at 4:49 p.m. at Island Cardiology, located at 1328 N. Lake Park Blvd, Carolina Beach, according to a news release from the Kure Beach Police Department. Search warrants were also served at the medical practice and at Brezinski's home at 286 Seawatch Way, Kure Beach.

In 2019, Brezinski settled a civil case for "allegedly performing unnecessary procedures on patients at New Hanover Regional Medical Center," according to previous StarNews reporting. Brezinski and Wilmington Health settled the case for more than $244,000.

Brezinski was in the New Hanover County Jail under a $1.5 million bond as of Saturday. His next court date is scheduled for Monday.

It's this seed of an idea that led Safundzic, Lopez and Mehr to brainstorm ways to better manage digital corporate identities. Lumos, which can be accessed via a command line or the web, helps to orchestrate tasks like audits of which users have access to which apps and systems within a corporate environment.

ZeroPoint's nanosecond-scale memory compression could tame power-hungry AI infrastructure
AI is only the latest and hungriest market for high-performance computing, and system architects are working around the clock to wring every drop of performance out of every watt. Swedish startup ZeroPoint, armed with €5 million ($5.5M USD) in new funding, wants to help them out with a novel memory compression technique at the nanosecond scale — and yes, it's exactly as complicated as it sounds. The concept is this: losslessly compress data just before it enters RAM, and decompress it afterwards, effectively widening the memory channel by 50% or more just by adding one small piece to the chip.

Sous vide machines aren't haute cuisine, they're Millennial crockpots — and that's why they're perfect
I was visibly confused when I received the Anova Precision Cooker Nano as a gift. I associated sous vide cooking methods with the sort of intimidating, molecular gastronomy-style cuisine that is typically a fool's errand for home cooks. But I quickly found out that a sous vide machine is the perfect tool for someone like me who cooks herself a huge batch of something on Sunday and grazes on it through the workweek.
